We had a side discussion on another thread about willingness to pay more than $100 for a
used lens (keeping it narrowed to manual focus lenses only).
I understand that there are members who feel it is not worth it to spend over $100, and
others (like me) who would put out over $100.
I think it would be interesting and educational for our group
to get some opinions:
1. Would you NEVER pay more than $100 for a lens?
2. Would you pay over $100 for a lens you really want?
3. Which lens (name only 1-3 lenses if possible) would be worth paying more than $100 in your opinion?
Here are my answers:
1. No. I would pay more than $100 for lens.
2. Yes.
3. Sonnar 200/2.8
Sonnar 300/4

I looked into my list of lenses (which includes prices I bought them for) and majority of the lenses I really like were cheaper than $100. A lot of more expensive lenses are more or less collectibles or lenses for very specific conditions.

It's everything that is said about it, and more, and is probably one of the few lenses that can stand the hype, and more. I have two - one M42, one Exakta, and will never sell either.
It's that good. |

I'd give you over $100 for it Bob...
It is quite a testament that you have TWO of them. Now, you have me going to look up the lens on the Internet! See what you do? _________________

As far as I'm concerned, you could make ANY lens shine. Your work speaks for itself. _________________

You forgot to add a zero to your offer Larry....
Attila has at least three of them I believe.
@ poilu: I'd settle for either the D21 or D35 for less than $100...
I'm not planning on holding my breath here though.

My list tells the answers
Mostly I think like Poilu.
There are many exceptions like the Yashica ML line and some russians.
At the end of the day most of the lenses that make it on my camera(s) cost more then $100(s).
They are better period.
As to AF lenses over $100.
I don't have one AF lens (I had one Eos 24-105 L and sold it after one try).
Is it snobbery. No, I just prefer to focus myself mostly with a RF in fact. _________________ Moderator |

actually four one pre-war , two 1951 slim and one M42 Fat
All lenses what I would keep over 300 USD , I don't understand really if somebody pay 1000 USD for a good camera and not willing to pay at least half of camera value for a good lens.
I have many valuable rare lenses and many others my dream like CZ 135mm f2, CZ Tessar 300mm f4, CZ 35mm f1.4, Pancolar 75mm f1.4,CZJ 500mm f4 etc, etc. _________________ -------------------------------

Konica Hexanon 85mm also on my wish list long time ago.
I had two Vivitar 200mm f3.0 I sold both , "poor" man Nikkor 180mm f2.8 , this is true. Nice lens but not reach Nikkor or CZJ Sonnar. _________________ -------------------------------

Actually, I wouldn't even do that. I spotted a lens for Luis a few weeks ago and sent it to him for my cost plus postage.

I also paid over 100 USD for some others; soe were worth it, some I would try to get for less nowadays, and some were not worth it. My third-most expensive lens was a 24-120 AF-S VR, which seemed like a good idea at the time but I am going to sell it as its no real use to me. _________________ Camera (ˈkæ mə rə), n.

1. No, I certainly could be induced to do it. Most likely if the price is considerably less than its probable market value. I look on some of my purchases as investments - which have done much better lately than my financial investments !
2. I would.
3.
CZJ Sonnar 180/2.8
CZJ Flektogon 20/4
CZJ Biotar 75/1.5 (which I did pay more than $100 for)
And any lens that seems a bargain ! _________________ I like Pentax DSLR's, Exaktas, M42 bodies of all kinds, strange and cheap Japanese lenses, and am dabbling in medium format/Speed Graphic work. |

Lenses I've paid more tha $100(US, I presume) for
Carl Zeiss Ultron 50mm f1.8 (M42)
Pentacon 300mm f4 (M42)
Carl Zeiss Jena Flektogon 50mm f4 (P6)
Carl Zeiss Jena Flektogon 35mm f2.4 (M42 -> thanks Attila)
Of course, if by old you mean just "used" well, then... I spent $900 for a Hartblei Super-Rotator 45mm f3.5 (P6) so, yeah, sure. I think $1K might be the upper limit, though :-DDD _________________ Sony α7R, Pentax 67II, Kiev-60, Hasselblad 203FE, 903SWC, Graflex Norita 66, Mamiya M645 1000s, Burke & James 8x10, Graflex Pacemaker Speed Graphic (4x5 and 3x4), Century Graphic (2x3), R.B.
